Rhinestones
The Rhine in ‘rhinestones’ comes from the Rhine River, where the rock crystals were originally gathered, and the ‘Rhinestone’ is a translation into English of the French phrase ‘Caillou du Rhin’.

The idea of coating the lower side of the glass with metal powder enabled stones to imitate diamonds and a further development of applying the ‘Aurora Borealis’ a coating applied to crystal stones to produce a rainbow of colours is another effect that gives Rhinestones their glittering appearance.

Swarovski Stones http://www.hgexclusive.com/stones.php
In 1892 Daniel Swarovski developed a machine which made it possible to cut crystal to perfection and so invented ‘swarovski’ stones.  In 1933 Swarovski began to produce its own crystal in a plant at Wattens, Austria.  The swarovski crystals were flawless, and brilliantly cut jewellery stones and are used today by jewellery manufacturers throughout the world.

Where can I find Diamante/Crystal stones for vintage brooches?

I've bought a job lot of antique brooches, some of which have some stones missing. I would like to know if there is anywhere (online or chain store) which sells tiny diamante or crystal stones of various sizes which would fill these gaps.
THey're only tiny - about 0.5-1.5mm diameter.

Old fashioned jewellers have a box of bits out the back of the shop, scrap gold, loose gems and broken bits. When they collect enough they sell it. if you put the word around they might have something suitable.
